Procrastination isn’t just laziness – it’s often a sign of being overwhelmed. One effective method to overcome it is the 10-minute rule. It’s simple: commit to working on a task for just 10 minutes. That small push is usually enough to get past the initial resistance. Once you start, momentum takes over and finishing becomes easier.
This technique works well with boring, big, or unclear tasks. I sugges you start your day by picking the task you least want to do and apply the rule. Set a timer, block distractions, and dive in. You’ll often find yourself working for longer than expected.
Real productivity comes from small, repeatable habits – not unrealistic bursts of motivation. The 10-minute rule is sustainable and great for anyone looking to rebuild their focus in a busy world.
